Curtis Stone, in The Urban Farmer... distinguishes between Quick Crops(maturing in 60 days or less) and Steady Crops(slower maturing, perhaps harvested continuously over a period of time)... he has designed a crop value rating system based on five characteristics : Shorter days to maturity(fast crops=chance to plant more; give a point for 60 days or less) ;High yield per linear foot(best value from the space; a point for 1/2 pound/linear foot or more) ;Higher price per pound(other factors being equal, higher price=more income; a point for $4 or more per pound) ;Long harvest period(=more sales; a point for 4 months or longer) ;Popularity(high demand, low market saturation). 2, record 1, English, - crop%20value

Pongal(in Tamil) is an Indian festival to give thanks for the harvest. Pongal in Tamil means ’boiling over’. It is traditionally celebrated at the time of harvest of crops and hence is a celebration of the prosperity associated with the event. Pongal is celebrated by all people in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. While Pongal is predominantly a Tamil festival, the same period also marks similar festivals celebrated in several other places under different names. In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the harvest festival Sankranthi is celebrated. In northern India, it is called Makar Sankranti. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is the date of the annual kite-flying day, Uttarayan. It also coincides with the harvest festival in Punjab and Haryana, known as Lohri. 1, record 6, English, - Pongal

Le Pongal - littéralement bouilli par-dessus en tamoul - aussi appelé Makar Sankranti dans d'autres endroits de l'Inde est une fête des moissons et d'actions de grâce, mais aussi propitiatoire de l'Inde. Le Pongal est historiquement une fête séculière indépendante de l'hindouisme, ce qui pourrait indiquer une origine très ancienne. Principalement célébré en Inde du Sud, particulièrement au Tamil Nadu, en Andhra Pradesh et au Karnataka, il l'est aussi à Singapour et en Malaisie où il existe des communautés tamoules. Malgré cette prépondérance de l'Inde du Sud, on reconnaît cette fête dans d'autres parties de l'Inde, dans le Nord par exemple où elle porte le nom de Makar Sankranti. Au Maharashtra et dans le Goujerat, elle prend la forme d'un concours de cerf-volant. Au Panjâb et en Haryana elle est célébrée sous le nom de Lohri. 1, record 6, French, - Pongal
